One of the most decorated athletes in school history is Andrew James (A.J) Glock. Glock was a member of the 2001, 2002 and 2004 state champion wrestling teams, 2002 and 2003 state champion cross country teams and was also a member of the 2004 state runner-up boys track team. In all he has 5 team state championship gold medals and 1 state championship silver medal. He is also rumored to be one creators of the many special wrestling moves including the sewer rat dive, the mini frank, the hack saw, million pins and the ice pick as well as the Glock roll which is named after him. Even though he is the most decorated athlete in school history his athletic career was cut short because of chronic wounded knee. Glock may be most famously remembered for his ability to lose weight during wrestling season. During his career it was not uncommon for him to lose 15 pounds every week. When asked about this he commented, "The first ten are easy, but the last five are tough."
